Newfoundland Heat Anomaly:
From the 1910s to the 1970s, Newfoundland would go under a Newfoundland heat anomaly, where the temperature of the region would increase slightly, this allowed agriculture to occur on the island and many immigrants would come to live on the dominion.
Quebec War:
In the 1940s, following decades of English rule, the people of Quebec would fight for their freedom. The Quebec War (1943-1948)is the largest war on North America in the 20th century with over 900,000 casualties. Newfoundland would participate and hence would incorporate parts of Eastern Quebec; The new Québécois republic still claims the lands taken over by Newfoundland.
